MSU gets grant for power plant emission reduction, algae growth
On the heels of a successful development of algae photobioreactor (APB) technology and carbon dioxide (CO2) sequestration study with Michigan State University, PHYCO2—an algae growth and carbon dioxide sequestration company—will collaborate with MSU under a $1 million U.S. DOE grant to develop technologies that seek to transform the efficiency and operating costs to reduce power plant emissions of CO2 and create marketable chemicals. 
The process will utilize PHYCO2’s APB technology to grow algae and a new chemical conversion process to create high-efficiency, absorbent chemicals for CO2 reduction, while using low energy and costs. If successful, the PHYCO2 APB and MSU/DOE technology then will be commercialized in this process and offered to emitting manufacturers and power plants across the U.S., minimizing costs for emission reduction.
